President Trump, seated between the two visiting leaders, spoke first, calling it "a big beautiful honor" and a "great thrill to me" to host the peace event.
Trump praised Rubio, saying, "I call him Henry Kissinger who doesn't leak."
Both guests appeared to attempt to stifle their laughter, Aliyev with less success, when Trump bashed "Sleepy Joe Biden" for his foreign policy.
Trump teased "more information for you a little bit later" on Russia before asking Aliyev to speak, which he is doing now in English.
